The drivers LOVE the long drive. I talked to a few and they all said if they all hope for long drive picking up from airport. It is the little short hops that they dislike. And one said that he could get tax break on the return mileage or something like that.

I used to think that the drivers get to see the destination before accepting the ride, but turns out it is not the case. The guy said that if they get to see it, then no one would pick up the short rides.
